We would like to extend our sympathy to Suzy and the family for their loss. Both of us held Gary in the highest esteem as a friend and colleague and admired the way he coached. His teams reflected his personality. They were hard-working and disciplined, and they always showed good sportsmanship. He will be missed, but he has left behind a wonderful legacy through his many years of teaching and coaching in Farmington.

As a radio sportscaster for 45 years, I dealt with many coaches over the years. One of my favorites was Gary Fisher who coached football and basketball at Hermosa Junior High in Farmington. He was always very pleasant and easy to work with plus his teams were always winners. My last few years broadcasting Farmington Scorp basketball, he was an assistant under Coach Ron Becker. So glad I knew you Coach Fisher!

Fond, fond memories of coach Fisher as a Hermosa Jr. High Matador back in the late 60's. He instilled a passionate work ethic in all the players and I vividly remember the thrill at beating Tibbets Jr. High that year and the bus ride back to Hermosa. Thanks for being an inspiration...
